Blood tests and a new score may forecast brain bleed recovery
NCT ID NCT07728734
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a new scoring system, called PRO-ICH, can accurately predict how well people will recover after a spontaneous brain hemorrhage. Researchers will also check if adding certain blood markers improves the score's accuracy. The goal is to give doctors a reliable way to estimate a patient's long-term functional outcome within the first hours of hospital care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could give doctors a reliable tool to predict recovery after a brain hemorrhage, helping guide treatment decisions and reduce uncertainty for families.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve outcomes. The scale may not prove accurate enough in real-world settings, and new blood biomarkers may add little benefit.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients ≥ 18 years diagnosed with spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) by CT scan and treated maximally within the first 24 hours. 2. Prior functional independence defined as modified Rankin scale (mRS) ≤ 3. 3. Time from symptom onset or last known seen well ≤ 24 hours. 4. Signed informed consent by the patient or their representative. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Age \< 18 years 2. Intracranial hemorrhage secondary to trauma, ischemic stroke, or fibrinolytic or endovascular treatment. 3. Spontaneous ICH with limitation of therapeutic effort (LTE) within the first 24 hours. LTE is defined as the withholding or withdrawal of potentially life-sustaining treatment and/or the initiation of comfort care measures with the expectation that the patient may die as a result. Potentially life-sustaining treatments include: orotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and neurosurgical treatments (intracranial pressure monitoring, external ventricular drainage, hematoma evacuation, decompressive craniectomy). LTE is not considered to apply if only a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order was established, without limitation of any other treatment. 4. Prior functional dependence, defined as mRS \> 3 5. Time from symptom onset or last known seen well \>24 hours
